That's because Superman III is better than Superman II by a mile.
I don't know how Superman II gets so much love.

I wouldn't know. I haven't seen Superman 2 or 3 in ten years. Saw 1 about a year ago. It's still wonderfully enjoyable.

For sheer entertainment value as a family film and not a Superman film, I will admit that it is almost as good as Superman II, especially when you take into account that Superman III didn't take any huge liberties with the character or his powers (e.g. Superman giving up his powers in II, not to mention all of the neato extra ones the Kryptonian bad guys had, including Force-Beams). But in no way is it better.

I'll never understand this logic. Best to stop trying.

Origins:
Iron Man > Superman 1 > Batman Begins. All else are way behind.
Why Iron Man? It's not just the origin of a hero. It's the origin of a movie-verse unlike anything we've ever seen.

This is just sheer insanity.
Saying Iron Man is better than Superman or Batman Begins is like saying that Transformers is better than Terminator 2.
Let's change this topic. Come on the Green Lantern movie.

Spider-Man? Really?
Rewatch that movie. It gets a lot of praise but it's the most ADD of the bunch. It can't go 7 minutes with the Goblin showing up, or a nightmare, or sometimes out of nowhere they just show the Goblin mask for no reason and a loud noise to keep you watching.
It's so damn cartoony. Great at the time and really enjoyable but not better in origin to either Iron Man or Batman Begins.

Origin wise (not including goblin just the hero.) Peter's journey to been the spider-man who saves people is pretty cool. Everything from Uncle ben's death to wrestling is brilliant.
Still wish we had gotten webshooters but still great.

Okay...I missed this.
Whatever about Iron Man being better than Batman Begins...saying that Spider-Man is better than Batman Begins is like saying...
...
...no you got me. I've got nothing. Batman Begins is impossibly better than any of the Spider-Man movies.

Batman's origin was the movie. Everything else came second. Spider-Man (like every Marvel movie except X-Men) was an excuse for a big battle between two people with superpowers.

I still thought Spider-man's origin was better so yeah.
This is why I think the X-Men movies are by far the best movies made by Marvel so far. Almost every character is casted perfectly and they make plots like God Loves, Man Kills the most interesting movie I've seen in a while. I still think that even though it had its shortcomings X3 was still one of my favorite comic movies. I can't wait for Wolverine and Magneto to come out.

You know, come to think of it, I might put movie Spidey's origin above movie Superman's. There's really no explaination or proper segue for designing and putting on the costume and being a superhero in S:TM.
And again, I'll never understand the almost unanamous bullying of the Spidey movies that goes on on this board. I've never heard anything but praise for it in real life, with the exception of the third, and even then people don't act like it's a piece of ****.

They aren't bad. They're just so comic booky that they're somewhat painful to watch. The plot and the acting is so hammy, and Tobey McGuire is just a terrible Spider-Man. I mean, the CGI is just awesome. It's cool as hell to see Spider-Man on the screen, but all the films are just so fluffy. Which is fine, because the audience is suppose to be pre-teens and young teenagers, but I'm a grown man, and it just doesn't do it for me.

I will always despise the castings for Peter and MJ.

Again, I've never heard anything but praise and praise for Tobey as Peter Parker, up until the third. From my grown-man, life-long comic fan, read-Spidey-monthly-throughout-the-entire-golden-era-of-Marvel dad, teachers, any adult I know. Most people said he's what made the movies so good and relatable, and I've heard the Christopher Reeve comparison a few times.

Why must we always have the same arguments?
All I hear is disappointed with the choice from people outside the site.
And the Superman movies suck. Returns was the only decent one.

Well, if everyone you know likes them, I guess I'll have to change my opinion and like them too then.

Wrong.
I won't even dignify this with a Luthor meme wrong.
When the **** did I say this? Welcome to a discussion board. You said the films don't do it for you because you're a grown man, I say it can't be that because I know plenty of grown men who they do do it for. Opinions clash, but I'm not accusing you of trying to assimilate me either.

None of the superman movies have impressed me.

Superman 1 + 2 were great.
Superman 3 + 4 are horrible.
Superman returns is worse than 3 + 4 the movies it was trying to replace

Give me three honest, sensical reasons that Superman Returns is a more entertaining movie than the first Superman movie. I can't think of one other than 'the action is better' :roll:

I liked the casting and story better.
He didn't time travel.
I did like how it still had the same atmosphere as the old ones.
The first Superman movie was alright, but destroyed everything in it when he turned back time.
I find it the others extremely dull, even when I was just a kid.
I think they should of rebooted the whole thing.

I 100% agree with this. Had it have been rebooted It would have been good.
Superman returns had it have been a reboot , better cast , less stupid moments , no kid , aware of the fact superman + Kryptonite = weak superman and had modern day heartless ruthless businessman Lex . It would have great.
